I'm sure you'll still see lots of Flower Soft there! Many thanks to Flower Soft for their generosity, and for allowing me to showcase their products... and big hugs to my fellow designers! Love you girls, and hope to meet some of you in person next year!

Hey Peeps! Time for another Flower Soft challenge! This weeks challenge, to make a project geared around the holidays. Hopefully you are all having a WONDERFUL holiday! Life can get so crazy this time of year. It can be so easy to forget what it's a

ll about. I've really enjoyed having some quiet time to reflect on all of the many blessings my family has....that often comes between times of complete chaos....but maybe that's why those moments are so very special! ;-)

I've had a bit of extra time to get in a little paper crafting. I pulled out a topper from the Cute Christmas line for my card today....

Hope you all have a chance to play. This week we are playing for a pot of Polar White Flower Soft and a package of Display Globes. LOVE these globes! They are great for soooo many things! As always, link your card to this post to be included for this weeks challenge. A winner will be chosen next Wednesday so be on the lookout for an email announcing if it's you! If you are uploading your creations to SCS please use the keyword FSC43.

The tree was sketched on with a brown marker and Christmas Green and Polar White Flower Soft was used to fluffy it up. I also added Polar White Flower Soft on the ground for a little extra snowy texture. The snowman was colored with ShinHan Touch Twin markers and cut out.

Winter is the perfect time for Polar White Flower Soft - whether you're adding snow to a scene, or fluffy trim to a warm coat, the texture and dimension are perfect. On this card, I worked in both! These are stamps from Impression Obsession's latest stamp release.Have you entered the "Think Snow" challenge yet? There's still time...!

Are you thinking snow? It's that time of year and here in the Indianapolis area we are still waiting for substantial snowfall. For me, it just doesn't seem quite like the holidays until the ground is covered in the white stuff. This coming from a girl from the south!

This weeks Flower Soft challenge is to 'Think Snow'. We are all creating a little something with that in mind. I pulled out a little Polar White and one of my FAVORITE toppers, Window Shopping, and here's what I came up with.....

I love this image. I opted for a simple layout to really let the topper 'pop'. Here's a close up with the layers....

One of my favorite things about this kit is that the pieces are all die cut. I love that I don't have to cut each piece out. It makes for an easy assembly.

*****And don't forget to play along! You must link your card to this post to be included in the drawing. This week you are playing for a pot of Polar white and a pot of Ultra Fine White. *** All entries must be received by next Wednesday! You will be contacted via email so be on the lookout! :-)

Christmas tree image are so fun to decorate with Flower Soft! Here are two cards using the same image (from Our Daily Bread designs), but decorated very differently. You can find out more about these cards on my blog, Mama Dini's Stamperia. The direct links are below each picture.My first card is colored with Touch Twin Markers and decorated with Gold Flower Soft from the Diamond Range. I also used gold Peel-Offs around the edge of the main panel.This card was colored using Touch Twin Markers, and decorated with Silver Flower Soft from the Diamond Range.

Same image, two very different effects! I love the sparkle and dimension that the Flower Soft gives!

One product that Flower Soft offers is downloads. I am using a flower set from a Floral Designs Download set. There are several sets available and what is cool is there are quite a few different shapes in one set and they work with Spellbinders Nestabilities.

My card is created using the Clematis set. I love the purples in the flowers.

After I cut the label shape out with my Spellbinders Nestabililties, I used extra flowers to layer the flowers and then accents them with Purple and Silver Ultra Fine Flower Soft.
